This training will present basic elements to enable developpers to understand when and how to optimize the performance of their codes.

Optimization :

• Compiler options
• Vectorization – Data access (cache usage maximization)
• Theory to upper-bound the expected performance benefit (speedup, efficiency, peak, memory bandwidth, …)
• Examples of Stencil codes and N-body simulations

Half of the course will be made of hands-on sessions. The hands-on will use the https://github.com/aff3ct/MIPP library

Trainers

• Bertrand Cirou
• Mathieu Cloirec
• Cédric Jourdain
• Umesh Seth
• Dorian Midou
• Naima Alaoui
